I updated to version 3.x and the text on my homepage was huge. I tried to enter about:config as suggested, but, no configurations window. It just opens a window that says "config" at the top. about:config works in all previous versions but when I try it in the upgraded version the window won't open

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I upgraded to version 3.x

Try http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved and How to fix preferences that won't save

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
